Dual-Frequency RFID Desktop Reader

The HID OMNIKEY 5427 CK reads 13.56 MHz and 125 KHz credentials from a single desktop device. It supports iCLASS Seos, HID Prox, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire EV1 and NFC technologies. The reader suits organisations that need PC login or access control using existing employee badges without managing multiple readers.

Driver-Free USB 2.0 Installation

Connect the reader via USB 2.0 Type A for native CCID operation on Windows, Linux or Mac with no driver installation required. A web-based management tool allows browser-based configuration without special training. Keyboard Wedge mode emulates keystrokes for direct data input into applications. The removable card retainer adds physical security but may be misplaced if not secured during deployment.

Verify Credential Compatibility Before Ordering

Confirm that your access cards use the supported low or high frequency technologies listed in the specifications. Ensure the host system has an available USB Type A port for the 2.0 connection. The desktop form factor measures 2.79 by 3.66 by .63 inches, so check available desk space. This reader does not support credentials outside the stated frequency ranges or proprietary formats not referenced in the supported technology list.
